Each part or section of the head of the bag-is formed with a depression, 5, and a lateral recessedportion '6 which extends through oneend of the depression 5 and through the adjacent head or section, a plate or closure 7 being hinged at the opposite end of the de ression 5 so as to lie flush with the inner aces of thesections or parts when the closure is in operative position. Each closure 7 has an arm 9 which is conformably received in therecessed portion 6, the outer ends of the arms 9, being provided with hooks 10 which are adapted to snap over the adjacent ends of the sections or parts. it willbe apparent'that when the closures "are in closed position, same will lie flush with the inner faces of the sections or parts and thus conceal the depressions 5 and recessed .portions- 6, imparting to the inner faces of the parts or sections a substantially smooth appearance. The recessed portion '5 ofthe :head or section 2 is provided with a to certain new and: useful improvements 1n combined vanity y 1, and ahead formed of.

From the above mirror 11 and also a looped part 12 which is adapted to receive and retain a pencil'13.

It will be understoodthat the character of the articles which it may be desired to place in the depressions 5 mayvary, and accordingly variation in the characters of. the holders which retain the articles is thereby necessitated in order to provide the requ red conformity.

From the above it will be 'seen that in accordance'with this invention the various arcorporated'in the head portion of a bag and presents substantially the same appearance possessed by the well known and commonly used mesh fabric bags.
